Crazy Winter, Crazy Golfers


Last week for a brief moment winter took a few steps backwards
and so
Ted, Jean-Louis and Handy Hubby
took their golf clubs out of storage
and rushed to the golf course.


Someone else was at the golf course
and rushed (if porcupines rush! I reckon they don't have to!) to examine
Handy Hubby's golf ball. 


 Porcus Spina!


 Of course winter has come back with a vengeance.


Down at the beaver pond
I just about jumped out of my skin
at the sound of hundreds of birds lifting off from reedy perches.
Boy it was loud!
I hadn't even realized I wasn't alone.


Then I was treated to a lovely murmuring display.


Talking of golf balls....!
I have been turning messes like this....


....into much prettier balls!


Enjoyed the process so much
ended up with a whole basked full of them
all naturally dyed.
I try to remember to add a skein to every dye pot.

I hope you enjoy your threads today!

  1. Lucky that Porky didn't abscond with the golf ball! I must admit that I far prefer the pretty ones in your bowl in the final picture.
